Since just this week the first printed edition of the Smallville Season 11 comic came out what do you guys that read it think of it? I personally being a fan of the series (without I would never have rekindled my interest in Supes) have been extremely pleased with the story so far. Being picking up the digital edition which for the next two weeks have are gonna be a bummer for me

I got the priny edition and am not sure what to think of it. The issue doesn't feel like an episode or even part of a single episode of the show. It reads like a bunch of disconnected scenes all set in the universe of the show but not like even the set up for a story. I know where it is going from the previews and how some of this issue leads in to that, but unlike the TV show here i knew i'd be getting something substantial before an hour passed the gaps between issues makes me less willing to wait for a payoff.

From what I have read in interview from the writer, he seems to be striving to keep the six act format from the tv episodes, meaning that so far we have only read the teaser, act I, & act II from the season premiere.

I know it may not be much of consolation but at least keep that in mind. I know because I felt that underwhelmed with the first digital chapter (that'll be 1/3 of your printed book) but for me personally the last 2/3 really pick it up running real fast.

Anyhow I am curious as to the "extra" material that DC was advertising for the print edition, would you care to fill me in? Is there anything else besides the episode guide that was publicized?

I think it's building up somewhere, but I think it's going to be a very slow ride. I watched all ten seasons of Smallville, but I don't think I have much interest in seeing it continue, especially at this pace. I think it's time to move on.

There was one page on the costume design in addition to the episode guide. Everything else appeared to be story, which I'm assuming was reproduced from the digital version unaltered.
